Raccoons used to come in our cat door in Marietta to eat the dry cat food. They would moisten the food by swishing it in the water dish. It was cute until the first morning I stepped in a puddle of raccoon pee, and I learned that raccoons can spread rabies thru their saliva, and if they share a water bowl... So I got an allegedly coon-proof door (Art would wear a magnet that was like his "key") but they even figured out how to thwart that. They are smart little dudes!
